A simple widget that displays your most recently used applications in a grid. Blacklist apps you don't want showing up and style the widget to match your home screen theme (IAP).
Instead of cluttering up your home screen with tons of app shortcuts just add a single MRU widget.
All your most recently used apps show up automatically, ordered by most recently used or most used.
FEATURES
Blacklist allows you to exclude any applications you don't want showing up in the widget.
Whitelist allows you to include only applications you select in the widget.
Customizable grid dimensions
Force right to left layout, for users with larger devices
'Most recently used' and 'Most used' modes
Icon pack support
Per application icon selection
Lots more styling options that allow you to create a widget which perfectly fits your home screen's theme
IMPORTANT
Requires Lollipop device with usage stats access, you will be prompted to allow access if it is not already granted
Some Samsung and LG devices are missing the Usage Stats APIs and are therefore incompatible. Check in device security settings for 'Apps with usage access' (near the bottom) to see if your device is compatible.
To hide Google App from widget blacklist 'Voice Search'
Marshmallow users may want to disable battery optimization in Battery settings
REVIEWS
A must have little app
Out performs all others
This app makes use of the Usage Stats API introduced in Android 5.0 Lollipop. You will be asked to enable access to Usage Stats upon first run.
Please let us know if you find any bugs. Thanks!

I want to try this app but it is incompatible with my Note4 (Android 5.0.1) used in Macao.

Sorry to hear that. :crying:
Does your Note 4 have an 'Apps with usage access' option in device security settings? Near the bottom?

Love the idea but haven't actually tried it yet. One question/request...would it be possible to have these in a regular homepage folder?

Thank you. My reasoning is that I like to keep my homepage fairly clean/simple/minimal. The widget is a little much, but if I could have all those apps behind just a single icon it would be fantastic.
Either way, good work. Android FTW

I just pushed an update to Google Play (v0.4) that allows for a 1xN grid. So you could have a tall column then shink it down to one home screen space, making it vertically scrollable.

Functionally similar concept to Hangar's widget, would be interesting to see where this goes

I def like the idea. Would it be possible to get like a contextual widget that shows apps by location for example home, work, out and about gym.. Car etc something like how the HTC sense home widget work's?

Icon label color is based on background color. Dark backgrounds have white text and light background have dark text. If the background is transparent then text color is based on the launcher wallpaper.

Can an option be included? I am on Note4 stock TW launcher and the icon labels are white. I cannot see the labels since my wallpaper is black but I want my background transparent.

Glad to hear, some other Note 4 users were having issues. I'm pretty sure it's Samsung removed some of the Usage Stats APIs.

I've got icon pack support coming in the next version. :good:

Respone speed when click icon to open is quite slow

This works for me. Thank you OP!
Just one request: I noticed that when you switch to 3 rows, the labels are not shown immediately. You still have to scroll down to see the labels on the bottom icons. It would look a lot better if you wouldn't have to scroll down. (2nd screenshot)

Should look into allowing icon packs to be applied to the widget.

Testing it right now !! it looks great, but I don't seem to be able to get all the tiles at the same size. The gap between each tiles is not similar if a tile has to be resized.
Great graphic job tough !

Strange, as far as I know I can add the widgets at any size and resize. Have you tried starting the widget in the prescribed size, and have you set margins of the homescreen to zero/none?
Trying it out now. Kinda like the PIE UI I have now, this sucker takes a while to put together just right lol.
Sizing seems fine here for me. In Nova, you HAVE to set the grid to the correct size so that the widgets will fit correctly.
I did see for example the Clock skin, where in the UCCW is labeled, 4x2 where it should be 2x4 for the correct size and can be adjusted accordingly. Most everything else is 2x2 so that's a given.
Green tiles here I come! LOL

Here's mine. Did a little editing with some of the tiles. IE Dont have FB and whatsapp... For some reason the 4.2 camera app doesn't show up on the uccw app list. I just took off the hotspot and put in an invisible icon with the camera app there on the top part of the tile. Workaround win .
Great tiles! Good job and Looks great IMO.

Btw, for the overeager modders amoungst you: the icons are from the Alex T as well. You can download it here. Also, you can shuffle the layout really easy by simply swapping the widgets. And good job on the camera workaround!
PS: it's awesome to see the different countries
Instagram added! :laugh:
Also just another note in regards to using Nova Launcher or any launcher really....
To get the tiles to fit, other than what is already noted in the second post; is to remove the dock or hide it. To access the apps I use gesture function of two fingers swipe down. Then to turn off the screen I simply swipe up. :good:

hi, newbie here and im using the stock-blue tiles.. pretty sure im following the instructions listed here, but whenever i try to add some of the tiles (Ex. 2x4tilebatt.uzip), it only shows a white box upon loading (checked the settings and the only ones loaded are the back ground and hotspot).. any remedies for this? I have unzipped the Tiles UCCW Blue folder in my sdcard, fyi.

You did everything right. There went something wrong with the non square tiles, when changing the filenames. The proper files have been restored (this means that the names are inverted again) Until I've got some more time (busy week) I'll fix the names properly. Nevertheless, functionality is no issue!

[WIDGET][4.0+] Event Flow Calendar Widget

Yes, yet another calendar widget trying to take over one of your homescreens. This one might just be able to...
Hi guys,
This is a simple calendar widget, that strives to be clean, beautiful and useful.
Main features:
- 2 widgets: agenda and calendar
- Agenda shows weather information
- Several configuration options: widget looks, fonts, colors
Some of the configuration options are locked and only available on the premium version (upgradable in the app). Anyway, i believe that the unlocked options are enough to make it useful. If you don't agree, leave some feedback please.
Get it on Google Play or here.
Some screenshots:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Hope you like it and would love to hear some feedback.
Love it, but I would like to see some options, for example hide "no events" select how many days to get weather for, hide icons, a completely transparent theme and possibility to buy it in play store.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Really nice UI :good:
installed it and indeed a good app
great job, OP!
loving it and currently using the calendar widget on my main homescreen!
set it to white background.
however, there are certain issues when its being resized too small..
the dates scaled but it cuts off half, showing only 1-14 instead of 1-30/31.
It looks really nice.
Would be even nicer if the font size (or the whole widget) was adjustable to something smaller
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I'll try to answer some of the questions.

Your points are fair. I've tried to strike a balance between too much and too few options, but maybe i haven't found it yet.
Anyway, here are some explanations:
- The "no events" label only appear if you select "show weather" and there's weather information for that day, but no events. To show the weather information i had to show something on the description, hence the "no events" label (it doesn't appear if you choose not to show the weather). But an option to control it is something i will consider.
- I'm thinking on the hide icons option (it obviosly isn't difficult to implement, but like i said, i'm trying to keep the settings screen relatively approachable, so i must think on how to incorporate it). Right now you can hide the settings button, but that may not be enough.
- There's no predefined completly transparent theme, but you can make one by changing the day and header background to transparent (just slide the opacity bar all the way to the left). In the agenda view those settings are locked, but you can see how they work in calendar view. Now, i understand that it might be "harsh" requiring people to buy the premium version to have full transparency, but i had to lock some options...
- Regarding the possibility of buying it in the Play Store, i just thought that the In App billing process was "cleaner" and more straightforward for people who wanted to upgrade. I really couldn't think of any advantage of having a separate "key" app in the Play Store vs the In App billing, but maybe i'm missing something.

Yeah, that's by design, and it probably works well for some people, and doesn't work for other people. If the widget is resized to less than 2 rows it shows only 2 weeks. Initially i didn't have that way, it showed all the weeks regardless of the widget size and it was scrollable, but i was having some trouble making it look "right" so i choose this route. I might revisit this though.
By the way, i should add a disclaimer here: the calendar view is heavily inspired by a "prototype" that Roman Nurik (from Google and dashclock fame) made. I didn't just copy it, as it has added functionality, but i was heavily inspired by it (and that's why the calendar view is completly free)

Adjustable font sizes, or at least a selection of 2 different font sizes are something i plan to explore. Can't promise it will be released as it must look "right", but i'll look into it.

Thanks again for taking time to read our feedback. I don't think you need to go deep in term of font/margin size options but something like Gmail "Comfortable / Cozy / Compact" would rock!
Bought it... Great looking App at a fair price... Replaced all my previous calendar Widgets apps...

Yeah, i was thinking of doing something like that. I was considering only 2 options, but including 3 named like GMail makes more sense indeed. I'll test it ti make sure it looks good (the width of the left sidebar can be tricky, in fact, it might have to stay the same, but it might not matter).

A new version (v1.2.9) was published today, with some common requested features:
- Change text size options
- Theme selection dialog with preview
- Widget header configuration options
- UI Tweaks (better touch feedback, changed separator between days)
It should be available soon.
Hope you like it.

It should only show 1 week when it is resized to 1 row...

Hi, tasks integration is something we'll look into, but can't promise to implement. Even if we implement it, the first target will be Google tasks, and then maybe other task management solutions (like Any.DO). You see, for tasks there aren't one or two general accepted apps, and we don't have the man power to integrate with them all...

Very nice, took only 5 minutes for me to buy the full version.
agenda view which is my favourite one looks really amazing. consider adding Google tasks support and I can tell you I would switch to this app (Google calendar and Gogle tasks support in one app is my top priority). good work, looking forward to future updates!

Awesome Icons is a completely free application for using icons from various icon packs on the home screen without requiring a third party launcher or rooted environment. It allows one to pick icons for applications one by one, even mixing icons from different icon packs. One may also customize the label for the shortcut – even removing it entirely for a completely different feeling on the home screen.
Features:
- Use icons freely from any icon pack for the home screen shortcuts on the default launcher; most icon packs are supported.
- Customize labels for the shortcuts on the home screen.
- See icons suggested for applications from all icon packs at once.
Please try it:

Tried it out briefly on my HTC one (m7). Works well for the most part, but does seem a bit buggy, (at least with Sense 6).
Creating an icon from the app menu creates a HUGE icon that has no label and cannot be moved to the launcher bar. If I create it through the app, it works correctly.
Unfortunately, it cannot find the phone dialer app. This makes it unusable for me, as I wanted to change all of my lockscreen shortcuts to be themed with my launcher icons (nova).
I hope you can fix this in future editions. This is the one uncustomized item I needed to change to make everything seamless. [emoji4]
EDIT- Also, a suggestion... A dark theme would be awesome for people who work with white icons. It is very difficult to see them on the light cream background (Circle White Icon Pack).

Thank you for trying it out.
That huge icon is actually a widget. The feature is not documented very well right now, but the idea is that if you create a widget, you can make the icon larger than a normal shortcut. (Ordinary shortcut uses the space for label even if you empty it.)
I can't imagine why the dialer is not showing up, but I'll certainly look into it. It's probably an HTC custom dialer application, but if it shows up in the application menu, it should show up on this app as well.
Also you're perfectly right about the need for different background to preview the icons against. I'll make a note of it.
Thank you for the feedback.

I'm very happy to hear that it works for you now.

Thanks. Here are pics of what I use it for... It let's me theme my lock screen without having to use a replacement (which I've found replacements don't seem to integrate well).
Perhaps this will provide others inspiration. Thanks again for this great app. [emoji4]

Thanks for sharing! I hadn't even imagined it could be used like that. I guess some lock screens allow shortcuts as mine (Nexus 5) doesn't seem to do that.

Yeah, I use an HTC One (m7). Sense 5+ uses whatever you have as your dock icons for the lockscreen. Since I use a custom launcher (Nova), I don't even see it on my home screen, yet it allows for the seamless lockscreen look.
I also use glovebox, themed with my desktop icons.

I see an update in the pay store today, however, I believe it has the same update description... 'System icons now show up to use'. Was this a bug fix update, I didn't notice any added features (hoping for black background option).

Hello again. Yesterday's update was just a quick fix for wrong icon sizes on some devices with no new features; the market description is now updated to reflect this. Thank you for the reminder.
I think your previous suggestion about the background is a much needed feature and in fact it's right on top of my todo-list for this application. Right now we're working on another big project, though, so I'm not sure when I can get that to that one.

Nice really work, thanks :good:
Very nice idea!
But, but... Not even single setting for unpaid version? That hurts
Thanks
Yeah, sad to see no option of customisation for unpaid.
You should add features like, hide app. Grid size and all that

Are those features existing in paid version? Because there is nothing really saying for what you are paying.
Yeah - you don't even know what you are paying for. Not mention to test anything and say if you like it or not...
Uninstalled for now but I like the idea.
Apparently the procedure to hold home and tap the middle button doesn't work everywhere? I don't have any buttons visible when I hold my home button and view recent apps.
Ahhh... The search button offers App Swap. I've not really tried it, but i can see that App Swap is placed a little high, just off the top of my screen.

Great app; bought pro version on a whim. I think this could replace app dialer for me. I have a few suggestions:
-The teal color on the top and bottom should be user selectable; white or black depending on time of would be ideal (in your OP gif it's white so I don't know why it's teal?)
-Option to reverse sort the apps so the most used apps are near the bottom where they're easy to reach with a thumb.
-I like the color sorting feature-neat idea
-More icon pack compatibility; 'Stark' does not work with it?
Anyone have the apk of this? Wont let me download it in the pkaystore. I'm on aosp note 3
This is like Slide Launcher.. And slide launcher is highly customisable

Nope, just suggesting this.
Honestly, if the free has those features.
I'd be so happy.

Option to reverse sort the apps will ship soon
For the white color, the GIF was an old version. I plan to add color customization in a future release.
For icon pack, unfortunately only FREE icon pack works, I don't have a solution yet for PAID icon pack.

With PAID you get :
- hide any app in the drawer
- uninstall app from the drawer
- open the keyboard on search field when App Swap open (like iOS spotlight search)
- icon pack support, only FREE for the moment
- reverse the app list and scroll from the bottom
- ad free
- and more to come
I should document more this in the app.
Thanks for your feedbacks !
Thanks for telling me the features, so others like me know what to expect when they're purchasing the app.
At the moment I don't have any way to buy it so I will continue to use free version. Its still great and I used google now to search for apps anyways so this is just what I need.
Awesome work! Also just a question. What code did you use to get the google now like gesture? Like when you swipe up from home. You get an option to choose which app you want? What code to how can I achieve that?
Nope
It had gotten my attention, considering buying it after some more usage (just to be sure that it is getting along with my N5), but when I saw the ads...
Nope, uninstalled.

Cool. I think the play store page should have more info about paid features etc...I'm an advanced user and even I couldn't figure out all the ins and outs.
Force close
I'm getting force close, log sent.. pls check the Play store crash report..
Great app. Just paid for it only to support the developer, the free version is good already.
Would definitely love it if it had xhalofloatingwindow compatibility.

Your launcher is taking too much RAM!! Fix this issue! Many time I am getting force stops. Launcher is bit laggy. Fix these issues.
Thanks
Good work, but If you make more than 50% of the features premium, which also mostly avaliable on Nova launcher, I am not going to buy it. Sorry..

Then don't look at Action Launcher 3. Basically every good feature is premium...

Added to Wishlist... hopefully prices comes down soon.
Wow, this launcher is amazing! :highfive:
I can even set drawer grids to 10x9 and still looks (almost) ok.
Can I make a request?
If it's possible, can you add another option to 'Dock'/'Icons'/'Dock Icons Number' to be able to select 8 Dock icons? :fingers-crossed:
Nice, looks very promising. I'm a Nova launcher old user and though i find this intuitive and kinda fresh. I would like to try all it's features but it's kinda expensive for this beta stage and features that are available in other launchers at lower prices. Well, i'm looking forward to try this if PRO will be provided at lower price or more unique features are added.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Alka
Looks interesting :highfive:
awesome and perfect launcher :good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::laugh:
How does the bind weather effect work? Is there a setting to set your current location? My location service is on of course. Doesnt seem to work. Also, you cant add any contact widgets. The icons disappear after 1 minute and the launcher crashes. This is a huge negative as I need my direct contacts on a daily basis. I paid for prime so I hope it will get all sorted out soon. Thanks!
Any chance we could get a trail version of the pro?
Nice app, is there any option to show dock icons labels ?
This looks good. Any option to add a drop shadow on the icons like the Samsung Galaxy Launchers?
